Poll: Fair to speculate on Bush's legacy?

Los Angeles Times by Paul Thornton | Jan. 9, 2009 (Poll)

When the emotions surrounding Bush have faded and it comes time to evaluate him purely on his merits and historical context, it will still be hard to think of any mitigating factors that could whitewash his well-known failures (and I'm sure you thought of more than a few without my having to provide examples).
